Date Diabetes Detected; Aug 1, 2018

Latest A1C 12

Total Cholesterol 300 mg/dL

Latest Triglycerides 490 mg/dL

On two combi drugs for hyperglycemia

Around 11 months later, after having achieved A1C of 5.7 and on Metformin only, he has posted a short story about his successful journey on the forum and it reads as follow:

Would like to take this opportunity to thank the entire Dlife.in family in helping me overcome this MONSTER of a set-back. Here I wrote a blog detailing my journey.
What I did not mention in the story like blog is that my other parameters have ALSO improved considerably. Cholesterol 187 from 300
Triglycerides: 240 from 490.

Of-course, a lot more to achieve and this is only a step in the right direction.

Once again thanks guys.

Congratulations Manish! A drop of A1C from 12 to 5.7, even after replacing all drugs with Metformin, is a great achievement.
